I've read enough information in the archives to know TB! does not support automatic bursting of MIME digests. But that it's possible using filters as a work-around. First, I'd like to officially request that MIME digest bursting be added to the program. This is a pretty basic feature for a "professional" email program. Agent, as anyone who's researched this topic knows, handles this very well.
So I have read and understood the details behind the filter method. Save out all attached messages that compose the digest and then import them back into TB! to your desired location. Sounds simple enough. However, this does not currently work for TBUDEL nor TBBETA. Searching the archives brings up some points about a strangely formatted MIME digest (multiple boundaries). Has anyone been able to work around this? If not, is anything going to be done to correct the digests? They also lack a reply-to address tagged to each message. Reading a single message at a time will then not allow you to reply to the list unless you use yet another work-around by creating a Reply folder filter. At this time, it seems most of TB's shortcomings are exposed when trying to use the support lists themselves. My only solution at this time is to configure the lists to never send me mail. I am not interested in receiving the messages individually - the count for TBUDL is far too high for my liking. If maintenance is being done to the digests, may I also suggest taht the list server be configured to send out only 2 digests per list per day? The whole point of a digest is to get the list in a tidy package. Receiving a ton of digests for one list each day is counter-productive. It also segments the postings because TB can't deal with bursting the contents (to allow for re-threading). Thanks.
